This past weekend will be one that Gareth Kalil will never forget. As he took his seat at the R3,500,000 All Africa Poker Tournament which was held from 26 February – 1 March 2009 never could he prepared himself for what was about to happen. As the field started to drop from 113, Gareth not only stuck in there but took chip lead early on Day 3, which he kept all the way through to the final table. Gareth went up against Steven Brown, Frano Lottering, Jonathan Voss, Lino Pestana, Reshan Naidoo, Gareth “No Fear” Kalil, Aston Soon Shiong, Kevin Stani, Stewart Reilly and Deon Minnaar, who was the only player to have made a previous AAPT final table. It took a mere sixty hands to complete the final table but Gareth prevailed over Jonothan to take down the winning pot and was crowned the All Africa Poker Champion and Millionaire. Gareth thanked everyone and was very humble in his victory and added, “Tonight promises to be the party of a life time at Piggs Peak Hotel and Casino, Swaziland.” All the poker action will be aired on the All Africa Poker Channel on DSTV, press “OK” on your remote and select POKER CHANNEL in the DSTV Touch menu.

The next R3, 500, 000 All Africa Poker Tournament will be held from the 21 – 24 May 2009.

Flying off to exotic locations to play in the world’s finest poker tournaments isn’t just for the poker pros you see on television. Thanks to Bodog, amateur players can now join the club (the Bodog Flight Club, that is) for as little as $1. Right now in the Bodog Poker Room, the online poker powerhouse is giving away at least one Bodog Flight Club Package a month to major tournaments in Europe, South America and North America, with most events featuring prize pools over a million dollars.

Winners of a Bodog Flight Club package receive buy-in to the main event, travel expenses, spending money and instantly become a member of Team Bodog, complete with loads of Bodog gear and articles written up about their progress so friends and family can follow results from home.

“Take it from me, it doesn’t get any better than playing in a major tournament in an exotic location as a member of Team Bodog,” says Bodog Poker Pro David Williams. “The Bodog Flight Club is a once in a lifetime opportunity to compete for serious money against the best in the world, all while having an adventure only Bodog can deliver.”

The next Bodog Flight Club departure is the LAPT event in Punta del Este, Uruguay, held Mar. 18-20. Qualifiers are running daily at Bodog Poker for as little as $1 or 100 Bodog Poker Points, and all lead up to the LAPT Uruguay Semifinal event on Monday, Feb. 16 at 9:00 p.m. EST, where at least two Bodog Flight Club prize packages to the LAPT Uruguay are guaranteed. The winners will join Bodog online player “Nate Avenson”, who will be heading off to Uruguay in Bodog style after winning a prize package during Bodog’s Super Bowl Special tournament.

Next up after Uruguay will be the “Flight Club – San Remo” event on Monday, Mar. 16 at 9:00 p.m. EST, where at least two more Bodog Flight Club prize packages are guaranteed to the event in San Remo, Italy, held Apr. 18-23.
